In the tough economic climate within the Motor Trade industry the revenue that can be generated through vehicle servicing is a larger proportion of overall income. Within a climate of falling sales this income is of increasing importance.

Only about 30% of owners return their vehicle to the dealer where the purchased was made for servicing. Most owners choose their local garage or a franchised dealer for their make of vehicle to carry out servicing and repairs.
